Open to VP-level roles

Cross-channel investment strategy, engineered for revenue.

Senior marketing and growth leader with 12+ years owning $100M+ in annual working media. I build the measurement infrastructure, operating models, and AI-augmented systems that answer the only question clients actually ask: why is my money working — or not working.

The integrating layer above channel specialists — where media, measurement, and commercial infrastructure meet.

I own cross-channel budget strategy across digital, retail, social, traditional, and print. Full accountability for $100M+ in annual media across global accounts spanning 15+ markets.

I future-proof client success by focusing on the operational and technical integration layers needed for accurate measurement infrastructure — MMM, incrementality testing, Brand Lift. Not last-click reporting. Causation-based investment recommendations that secure multi-million-dollar budget expansions.

Track record of building operating models from scratch in environments where none existed.

Two pieces of proof, not a portfolio.

One is a live calculator built to demonstrate MMM thinking in a regulated, high-CAC vertical. The other is a full case study on rethinking retail-gaming culture through community infrastructure. Both reflect how I actually work.

Twelve years of revenue accountability.

Across gaming, entertainment, retail, healthcare, B2B, and ecommerce — in regulated and performance-accountable environments where the numbers have to be real.

Where the work was done.

Mar 2024 — Jan 2026

Vice President, Media Strategy

MOONROCK Inc. 5000 #1 Marketing Agency

Owned cross-channel investment strategy for $100M+ in annual working media across 25+ channel partners, DSPs, SSPs, ad networks, and measurement vendors. Served as the integrating layer above channel specialists for global accounts across gaming, entertainment, retail, and technology in 10+ markets.

Cross-Channel Budget Governance & Reallocation
  • Designed a cross-channel operating model that replaced static quarterly plans with weekly budget arbitration across Search, Social, Programmatic, CTV, and Audio based on real-time demand signals. Applied to Epic Games' Unreal Engine: 15% over-delivery on impressions, 50% on video views, 55% on clicks — on flat YoY spend.
  • Built measurement infrastructure triangulating MMM (Robin/Meta), geo-holdout incrementality testing, and Brand Lift to answer cross-channel attribution questions for C-suite stakeholders. Replaced last-click reporting with causation-based investment recommendations that secured multi-million-dollar budget expansions.
  • Restructured fragmented channel operations under centralized strategic control — reducing overhead 50% while scaling output. Built the governance layer that did not previously exist.
Client Relationship & Strategic Storytelling
  • Presented cross-channel performance narratives to C-suite stakeholders on recurring cadence, translating messy multi-platform data into clear budget recommendations and reallocation rationale.
  • Led the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) 2026 investment strategy across four markets (France, Brazil, UK, Saudi Arabia), building coherence across fragmented regional activations and determining what should be governed globally vs. executed locally.
  • Owned the Fab Marketplace GTM investment strategy across Search, Social, and Programmatic — shifting the client's success metric from vanity (sign-ups) to revenue (Creator LTV) and delivering $1M in measurable GMV.
Team Leadership
  • Led 12 channel specialists and analysts, structuring the team so channel expertise reported up into unified investment strategy rather than operating in silos.
  • Partnered cross-functionally with Creative, Analytics, CRM, Legal, and Product to deliver integrated execution across 100+ initiatives in 10 global markets.
Oct 2020 — Feb 2024

Media Director

INFINITE REALITY / REKTGLOBAL Acquired · $470M

Directed cross-channel investment strategy across 20+ concurrent vendor and platform relationships for enterprise accounts (Epic Games, Walmart) in a hyper-growth environment where the operating model had to be built from scratch.

  • Managed $30M+ annual budget across Search, Social, Programmatic, CTV, Audio, Affiliate, and Influencer — coordinating execution across 15+ buying platforms simultaneously and arbitrating allocation based on performance signals.
  • Built, mentored, and scaled team from 4 to 12 channel specialists across time zones; structured the team so each discipline connected into a unified investment view rather than reporting in isolation.
  • Expanded the Epic Games relationship over 8 continuous years ($1.5M to $7M annually) by serving as the single point of accountability for cross-channel investment performance across Fortnite, Unreal Engine, and Rocket League.
  • Built BI dashboards capturing 40K+ data points, translating granular channel metrics into C-suite-ready performance narratives that drove budget decisions.
  • Led a consulting engagement for Warner Bros. Games to diagnose fragmented investment planning and build a four-month roadmap unifying media, creative, and analytics under one governance structure.
  • Secured a $400K/month global client through new business development — end-to-end pitch-to-close ownership.
